We definitely have blackberries. We don't really have blackcurrants though, may be thinking of that?
Yep, currants took a hit because they were a vector for a pine tree infection that rocked our logging industry and led to a ban on currant growing like a hundred years ago. Currants aren't banned at the national level anymore.
And even through that, we have had creme de cassis as a liqueur that a decently built out bar would have.
TIL, that is so interesting! I should start selling my blackcurrant jam in the States, it's delicious.
Thanks for the info!
